March 31

Before we left Leelanau County and after loading up the car, we took a quick hike at Pyramid Point in Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. We didn't see much in the way of birds, but driving back out Port Oneida Road, we first heard and then saw about a half dozen Sandhill Cranes. They landed rather far away, but then these two landed much closer. Two Eastern Meadowlarks were an even bigger treat since we hand't seen them before– but I didn't manage a photo of them.
